taking any fighters names out of the equation, the issue has simply become “trash talk gone to far”. “aids, kill, death, gay…” are all recent terms used in trash talk. you can not be a sport on ESPN and use terms like these in the context they are used. no individual fighters need reprimanded, there is alot of emotion in this sport. Ali was one of the biggest trash talkers but always kept it clean and in relatively good humor (now someone can find some quotes to prove me wrong). but there needs to be a re-educating for all UFC fighters what is acceptable and what isnt. the standard has slipped.

There’s only a few unwritten rules for smack talk. Hardy didn’t break them posting stuff that mocks another man’s masculinity. Yeah it wasn’t PC by any stretch and I’m sure to groups like GLAD it crosses the line. Talking about causing death to someone else is a fine line. Using expression in hyperbole like “When I get in that cage I’m going to kill him!” which is different then what Mir and to a lesser extent what Davis said. Wishing and Hoping death on someone is more of a defeated statement that just makes the person seam petty and is the smack talkers equivalent to waiving a white flag.

but i guess that’s what you gotta do if you’re sexually insecure and rolling around with a sweaty guy who presses his abs against your cheek.

Those words are up for life too…

Someone might want to ask Davis what exactly is wrong with being a homosexual.

Furthermore, Davis has got no banter whatsoever. Getting mortally offended at someone making fun out of you? Most of us got over that in secondary school.

I thought he was Irish— how can he hate Guinness??

Wow, hopefully the UFC will come down harder on Hardy than Mir. I’ve always thought Davis was a jerk.
